iPhone Charger, Anker Lightning to USB iPhone Cable 3ft, A major problem with just about every Lightning-USB cable on the market is some kind of warping that occurs at the lightning end over time. Many friends have had the same problem, regardless of brand. This is no better or worse than the genuine Apple cable, use with care and always insert/remove the lightning end by holding the hard plastic and not by tugging on the cable itself.

If I had to buy an extra Lightning cable or replace one that’s broken, I’d choose the 3-foot Anker PowerLine Lightning cable, because it hits all the right notes in terms of design, functionality, and price. It’s impossible for us to test every Lightning cable, but having tested hundreds of them since Apple replaced the 30-pin connector in 2012, and after comparing the PowerLine cable against our previous top picks, we can say that Anker’s cable stands out from the crowd.

Our long-term testing showed that this kind of super-thorough testing was less important than the durability of each cable. Sure, some Anker Amazon Lightning USB Cable include a certain kind of shielding around their wires, or filler fiber (both good things, in theory), but none of our top picks ended up performing noticeably better or worse—in terms of data or charging functionality—than the others over the months and years since we first tested them. What did matter was how well a given cable held up to regular use: Did the Anker Amazon Lightning USB Cable still work after six months or a year? Did the Anker Amazon Lightning USB Cable start to come apart from the plug?

Based on this real-world experience, we decided that our testing should instead focus primarily on two things: durability and charging speed. Wirecutter readers want cables that will hold up over time without fraying, splitting, or otherwise falling apart, and they want Anker Amazon Lightning USB Cable that will allow them to charge their devices at the fastest possible speed. We also considered only MFi-licensed cables to ensure compatibility with all iOS devices and all versions of iOS.

That said, plenty of cables fulfill those criteria, and the differences in price and functionality between good Anker Amazon Lightning USB Cable is small. Though we could spends dozens of additional hours researching and testing more Anker Amazon Lightning USB Cable to find minute differences, we’d never be able to test them all, and even if we were to do so, the good ones would test similarly. In addition, because Anker Amazon Lightning USB Cable are such a commodity product, we had to change our previous top picks several times because companies such as Monoprice and Amazon routinely discontinue Anker Amazon Lightning USB Cable and replace them with different models, or they change (sometimes silently) the construction or components.

What we can do is find Anker Amazon Lightning USB Cable that satisfy our criteria, that come from a reputable company we’ve had good experiences with as both customers and reviewers, and that we’ve been using ourselves long enough to feel confident in their durability. So instead of saying, “This is the best cable,” we’re telling you the Anker Amazon Lightning USB Cable we’d buy ourselves.
